The death of Seth caused an uproar among his family and friends
All of them were saddened by the news and couldn't believe that Seth, who had only turned 18 this past week, died. In the heads of his family, relatives, and friends, thought that it was too early for him to go. His time, in the world, went by way too quickly
But for Seth, death was a natural thing. It's a cruel thing, and it seemed very true that time waits for no one, except for Chuck Norris
But Seth was no Godly being like Chuck Norris. He was an ordinary person, and death just seemingly doesn't care about you. It's just doing its job
Though Seth was a bit saddened about his death as well. His life wasn't really bad per se. He was naturally smart, handsome, and caring as the girls always said to him. He became the top student every single year of school, up until college. It was easy to say that Seth was up for something special, and his family couldn't have asked for a better son than Seth
But unfortunately, it didn't last much as they would've hoped
But then, a strange phenomenon suddenly struck the soul of Seth, which cause a frenzy that led to a bright light
Seth was surprised when he gained back his consciousness randomly, as now, he observed his surroundings and was now in a place of pure light. His previous destination was a pure, black void. Nothing to see, nothing at all. But the change in the atmosphere caught him by surprise
And just then, the surrounding changed as Seth again, saw darkness. But this time, he felt the surroundings. He realized that he now had a physical form, though it seems that he can't move much, or at all
"What now..."
Seth said in his mind, and suddenly, something spoke
[Hello There, Seth.]
An unnatural voice spoke through Seth in his mind as he was confused. Who is this? What's happening?
"Oh... Hello?"
Seth replied to the voice in his head
[I am no threat to you, Seth. I am here to aid you in this journey of yours.]
The voice again spoke as Seth was still quite unsure of what to think, though he had suspicions about what could this be
"Are you perhaps, a system?"
Seth replied to the voice, questioning it to see if it was a system he had read so much in his past life
[Yes, you could say that. And concerns about where you are. You are currently in the womb of Kushina Uzumaki, which should cue you in on what is happening.]
The moment the system said the name "Kushina Uzumaki". He was surprised that's for sure
"Then that means... I've been reincarnated as Naruto..."
When Seth was still living. Whenever he had free time to spare, he usually just hang out with friends, played games, and genuinely did fun stuff to crunch some time off. And in his spare time, was mostly spent watching animes. And of course, who wouldn't know the Naruto series
Seth managed to finish watching the whole series, but that was a few years ago before he died. But Seth was also known for his godlike memory in school, which played a huge part in his academic success, so he shall see if it serves him well this time around too
[Yes, your soul has been fused with Naruto's. The outcome of this makes a few changes, though should I lay the changes to you now? Or maybe after the next few events are all over because there are more important things to lay out for you at the moment.]
The system said, continuously giving out information after information to Seth, which took some time for him to digest all, but he ultimately made a decision
"Lay out me and Naruto's souls later. I want to hear the other thing"
Seth said, deciding to hear about his soul combining with Naruto another time
[Very well. As you have noticed, you can't move. This is due to time stopping itself for me to have time finalising a few things before I appeared to you.]
The system said as Seth finally understood, though shock still was present when he heard what the system said. Time has stopped? That's why he couldn't move a muscle earlier
"I see"
[Yes, but that's all for now. A mere introduction. We will have much to discuss later, Seth. But for now, I think it's time for you to be birthed.]
The system said as Seth agreed. Seth was glad he didn't have to wait months before getting out of Kushina's womb
[Then I'll resume time as it was before. Be ready Seth.]
Seth readied himself as best as he can. This will be quite an unpleasant experience, and Seth could only hope it will be over fast because there's going to be another event happening right after his birth.
